' Wrote:After reading Sivran's post, I remembered an encounter of mine with 3 pirate ships near California gate in NY.
I was flying my new shiny liner and 3 pirates (One had LR tag I believe, other two didn't have any faction IFF) tried to pirate me near the gate. I scanned their ships while RP'ing something (holding them off basicly), I realized that they were all a bit weak to pirate a liner, no bomber, no torpedos or CDs.
I decided to give my new ship a try and started attacking them.
It was 2-3 minutes later, 2 of them was dead and the final one was typing madly "PLEASE STOP, I WILL NEVER PIRATE YOU AGAIN!!!" while I was shooting at him just for fun (without killing him hehe). He even offered me some money over private chan.
I cannot remember the name, I would love to remember it though if you read it buddy, just msg me!
For those who don't know, the Lux. Liner has 11 turrets, 220k armor and 100k shield so it is a bit powerful to pirate without a bomber or similarly powered craft.
hahaha, great one.
I had that one time also in Omega 3. A pirate stopped me and demanded a tax. I was in my ad. train (4.84)
he had no cd and relative weak weaponry. so I refused and demanded credits from the pirate for wasting my time. I know I wasn`t allowed to pirate in a trader but I was just having a laugh. after shooting him up untill he was half dead he paid me 2 mils to spare his life:P
I paid him 3 mils a minute later. luckily the guy appriciated the joke. his name was spanish sounding. Diego something I believe.
